In November 2024, Mechanical Inspection Services was awarded a prestigious contract with a leading global provider of logistics automation at London Heathrow Airport. Known for delivering some of the world’s most advanced baggage handling systems, this major industry partner plays a critical role in the seamless operation of airport infrastructure. We’re proud to support their operations by providing comprehensive LOLER inspections on a wide range of essential mechanical equipment.
What We Inspect
Our airside work covers a diverse array of machinery, including:
Baggage handling systems
Conveyor belts
Carousels
Scissor lifts and hoists
Maintenance platforms and lifting accessories
Each item must comply with LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998) – a legal requirement in the UK to ensure all lifting equipment is safe to use. These inspections are vital for reducing the risk of accidents, ensuring operational continuity, and maintaining compliance with safety standards.
Fully Compliant and Airside Ready
With multiple certified surveyors holding full airside passes, our team is equipped to operate efficiently and safely in one of the UK’s busiest environments. We’ve completed all necessary compliance checks and training, ensuring that our presence airside meets Heathrow’s strict operational and safety standards—meaning we are fully airside compliant.
Looking Ahead
We see this collaboration as just the beginning. Heathrow is a dynamic and complex environment, and Mechanical Inspection Services is keen to expand our footprint across more terminals and partnerships within the airport. With proven experience, full airside capability, and a commitment to safety, we’re ready to grow further within the aviation sector.
